A study is being crowdfunded to investigate lean mass hyper-responders, aiming to recruit 100 individuals with specific lipid profiles (LDL >= 190, HDL >= 60, Triglycerides <= 80, with a >50% increase in LDL from baseline <160) and assess their cardiovascular system via CT angiograms over one year.

“we have a hundred of these people at least that's our recruitment goal to get 100 lean mass hyper-responders slightly more relaxed Cup points so if you're somebody who's listening and you fit these cut points please check out citizens science foundation.org you you'll find the criteria there but basically uh if after having gone on the diet your LDL is 190 and your HDL is 60 or higher sorry LDL of 190 or higher HDL of 60 or higher and triglycerides of 80 or lower and before having started the diet your LDL was lower than that it was like 160 or lower then that's the major criteria so people who we know had a hyper response and saw those LDL levels change and then just the one last piece is it had to have changed more than 50% your LDL had to have gone 50% or higher relative to how it was before you started this diet”
